K5 Oceanside Game of Skate Press Release

When rippers like Kirby Cox, Brendan Villanueva, Conner Getzlaf and Nick Tucker show up to skate, the Jr. Division just blows up with action. Brendon V, Kirby Cox, and Joey Palomba battled through their first heats, creating a great final. At the end, it was K5 Team rider Brendon Villanueva taking top honors with a clean Nollie inward Heel Flip.

As always, the Open division was full of talent. Kyle Kolod sent everyone to the sidelines after his front board, 270 out in the first heat and NickTucker and Aaron Astorga cruised through their heats sealing their spots in the final. The Final was close as Astorga got an early lead with his technical old school style, but in the end it was Brendon V. taking out Nick Tucker with a 50•50 to board slide.

Congrats to Brendon Villanueva for not only winning the Jr. and Open Divisions, but also edging out Conner Getzlaff in the best trick event as well!

K5 would like to thank everyone who came out to support this grassroots event, with a special thanks to MC Danny G.
